Please join us for our Executive Breakfast and Launch of the Northwest Healthcare Response Network

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, we are reminded of the critical importance of collaborating for disaster preparedness in our own community. NWHRN is inviting healthcare and business executives (CEOs, COOs, SVPs, etc.) and community leaders to the NWHRN Executive Breakfast, to network with peers and to learn about the state of our region’s healthcare preparedness and how it impacts their employees and organizations. Breakfast attendees will have the opportunities to:

Hear from keynote speaker Claire Bonilla, Senior Director of Disaster Response, Microsoft Corporation, on the importance of business resilience in a globally connected economy, and Microsoft’s model for business continuity management.

Learn more about local healthcare preparedness efforts and what it means for your business with Anita Geving, COO of The Polyclinic and Vice-Chair of NWHRN's Executive Council.

Learn about the merger of the King and Pierce County Healthcare Coalitions and celebrate the NWHRN launch with Dr. David Fleming, Health Director at Public Health – Seattle & King County, and Dr. Anthony Chen, Health Director at the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department.

Honor Excellence in Leadership awardee Johnese Spisso, Chief Health System Officer of University of Washington Medicine and Vice President for Medical Affairs at the University of Washington, for her seven years of invaluable service as former Chair of our Executive Council.
